The largest eating houses on the CONT
nent are at Washington market. There
are two of these enormous concerns, each
a long block in length, each employing
from 100 10 $50 hands, and one selling
10000 meals a day while the other fur
nishes at least 5000 meals. Sample
prices that indicate the rates generally
are coffee five cents, roast beef and POI
tatoes fifteen cents, buildings ten cents.
One OF these concerns uses $50 worth Of
Ice a day and makes away with 1900
quarts Of milk In the same period. The
larger Of the two was started fifteen
years ago by a man who pawned his

Sweep Of Natures Crimson Brush.

There is a young woman on the north
side who has hair SO red that il is said
she would surely bleed TO death were it
to be clipped with scissors or knife. This
painful sweep of natures crimson brush
has provoked more or less comment in
the neighborhood in which the young
lady lives; but the poor girl who has
been at the filings Of the gossips has one
stanch friend in a little sister-a wee
mite Of a thing, with a heart filled to
overlooking with the milk Of human
kindness. One day last week the maiden
with the sanguinary tresses was chatting
under some taunt from a neighboring
doorstep, when the little cherub ran up
10 her, and, throwing a pair of chubby
arms about her neck, exclaimed:

IL only looks pink. Chicago Herald.

IN AMERICAN FIELDS.

Home Mfss1onary Work-An Interest," Ing Talk by Rev NIT. Dunnfng at the United Church-A Union Service. The morning service st the United church
 yesterday was well attended and the Sabbath
 school at the chapel on Temple street imme-
 diately after was very full, as were also the
 Bible classes. The mems class, taught by
 MT. Bicksler of the seminary, numbered
 twenty-five. He interests every member in
 the lesson, commenting fully on every verse, each one taking part. Dr. Munger's text was the first clause of the thirty fourth verse of Matthew, sixth chapter: ''Therefore take no thought for the morrow" Much meaning attaches to the word ''therefore,' he said, in this connection. The verse closes the mon on the mount, the inaugural of Christ's teaching upon earth. Comforting practical lessons are in these words, forbidding is all we can bear. When we borrow trouble in the future we take upon us more than we can well bear. ''The law came by Moses," preparation for the 'grace and truth" which has come by Jesus Christ This cheerful acceptance each day of our lot in life is not inconsistent with prudent forethought and provision for our earthly life. By precept and parable the scripture lessons of wisdom teach us in this regard. No other writings teach so truly and so we'll. Interested deep attention was given the sermon to it's close. The singing was animated and heartfelt, in which all the congregation joined. So also the responsive reading and prayers.
 Rev. MT. Cunning at the union service in the evening made most interesting state ments of the Home Missionary Sunday school work in the West. The great good effected in the past and now being done is simply wonderful. The Sunday schools have already been organized by thousands, and churches almost invariably are formed from the Sunday schools. Instance after instance was given of cases, the most forbidding and trying, becoming centsrs of moral and ma terial good in the new fields of Dakota and Nebraska. The speaker himself has done a great work evidently in assisting personally, as we'll as planning and directing these infant yet mighty energies in saving our land and 
 The large number of Bohemian immigrants in Dakota and Nebraska was alluded to, and the good work of Bohemian paper publish ed by the H. M. in their communities. They are thirsting for true knowledge of real re- ligion and our government. They are 8 great people, and worthy our best effort.

Dwight Place Church.

Rev. Dr. Twitchell preached yesterday morning upon the topic, Delivering Provi- denee," text Exodus 14 10: ''The children of Israel lifted up their eyes to behold the Egyptians march after them" We do not stop to question what God can do, but when we come to ask what God does do many men doubt. All history, religious and profane, is alive with the necessities for divine interfer- ence where we have right to believe that God interferes, if he ever does. When God sees the cause to which he has pledged him. self in danger from earthly enmities will he remain indifferents Again, such interference is necessary to establish Gods character as a loving father among men and inspire in them 8 confident faith. Now, granted that such supernatural interference is possible, must we not believe that they occurs This Bible would not be Bible to me without it's rec ords of these divine manifestations ot super natural power, and yet there preachers who stand in the sacred desk and argue that they were not such and try to explain them to harmonize with ordinary experience. It was the hand of God that illuminated the cloud for the children of Israel whileit show ed only darkness to the Egyptians. God some times seems to fail us, but his seeming indifference is his real solicitude and fore sight.
 Let us see the applications of these truths to our American society. Does it not seem that God has this republic in charge in it's past history? I for one have an unshaken faith in the future of America, grounded upon it's past history and Gods evident presence therein. I have no fear for the future. Cap ital and labor will surely find their level and all social agitations shall settle to their prop CT place. Finally, the present seems to De a time of danger in the church. Some. would establish their dogrnas by force as doctrines of our religion, but have no fear of the fu- ture. There will be no schism; but we must pray for help and light and faith. We cau- not fathom Gods plans, nor by declaring dogmas modify those one iota. Let us there fore trust in him.

 Concerning coming railroad improvements
 which the COURIER announced recently, MT.
 William Bliss of the Boston & Albany road
 says: "The report is true that our company
 is about to heat it's cars with steam and light
 them with electricity. The cars are now
 being made ready and in a short time two
 through trains. the one leaving New York for
 Boston at 4:30 p.m., and the other leaving
 Boston for New York at the same hour, will
 be running with the new safety heaters and
 lights. We have been trying the Martin
 system of heating for three or four months on
 train between Springfield and Boston and
 with with very satisfactory results. The locomotive by means of pipes running
 underneath the cars. An ingenious device IS used for coupling the pipes where they pass from one car to another. The con nection is all metal, and there is no escape of steam. very small pressure, probably three or four pounds, is all that is required to carry the steam through the pipes. This force is not so strong as to be dangerous should the pipes become broken or detached in case of accident Enough steam is readily generated 1n the locomotive to keep the ears comfortable without perceptible loss of mo- tive power to the engine. On mp grades, where more steam is needed, the engineer may easily cut off the supply from the pipes for the short time he may need it without making the cars in the least degree uncom- fortable. We have experienced no trouble from the cooling of the pipes on our experi- mental train in cold weather, and we have found our cars comfortable with the ther- mometer IA degrees below zero. We run six cars on each of the trains between New York and Boston-a baggage car, two draw ing-room cars and three coaches-and we can heat them all without difficulty from the en- zine. We will light the cars and platforms with electric lights by the Julian system Each car will be lighted independent of the others, the batteries being placed underneath the floor. There will be about twenty incan- descent burners in each car. This system of lighting is expensive and there is the objec- tion that the plant adds about two thousand pounds weight to each car, but absolute safety is secured and that is the main thing. We do not expect that our methods of heat ing and lighting will prove to be perfect at the outset, but they will be long step ahead and improYements on them will follow

 LYNcHBURG, Va, Feb. 27.-The Daily Ad vance this evening publishes startling story from Amherst Court House as follows: SiEce the adjournment of court the community has been much excited over the horrible condi- tion of the county peorhouse as developed upon investigation by the grand jury. Eight members of the jury visited the poorhouse and were mortified by the discoveries made. The female inmates complained of treatment too appalling to be described and abuse from Superintendent Sydney NJ. Dawson which it is hardly possible to believe. It is question able if such den of infamy could be found elsewhere. The poor women were almost naked and one was discovered in cold room without fire, wearing only an old calico wrap per. Filth was found in every department sufficient to cause pestilence. The county authorities furnish the superintendent with bedclothing for the use of the paupers, but the grand jury found only five blankets and all of them were ill possession of a mulatto woman, favorite of the superintendent. It was also discovered that nameless crimes were systematically carried on to such an ex- tent that it was dangerous for respectable de- reported the facts to the court, recon mend ing the removal of the superintendent and his arrest, which the court ordered immedi- ately. There is much excitement in the county over these frightful discoveries.

WATERBURY, Ct., Feb. 27.-Many of the manufacturers and merchants of Waterbury on Saturday night listened to a report of a committee which had conferred with @ com mittee from Meriden relative to a proposition from Meriden citizens to build railroad be- tween the two cities, distance of sixteen miles. The chairman of the meeting was ex- Senator James s. Elton of the Waterbury Brass company. The road would cost $4OO.- 900. The Meriden-Cromwell road would be- come consolidated with it. Meriden asks Waterbury to subscribe $150,000. Meriden will then subscribe s5O,OOO. A mortgage to cover the remaining $20O,0O0 would be exc cuted by the new company covering the road from Waterbury to Cromwell. Meriden guarantees that Waterbury freights shall be the same as it's own, which rates are twenty Ter cent. less than Waterbury is paying. The road can be built and put in operation this year.

MRS. pRusE,s LAST NIGHT.

Governor HfM Refuses to Interfere | and the Murderess to be Hanged To- Day.
 HERKIMER, Feb. 27.-Mrs. Druse retired I shortly after midnight last night and slept l tlll this morning. She has been talk ing stinulants somewhat freely during l the day. Her spiritual adviser and friend, Rev. MT. Powell, held a service for her bene- fit this evening. The choir of the Universi-
 ty church was present assisting in the ser
 vice, which began at 7:30 and lasted half an
 hour. It was opened with prayer followed
 by selections from Moody and Sankey's
 books. Mrs. Druse joined in the singing, but
 showed no particular emotion during the
 service. She sat inside her cell and the cler
 gyman on the outside. Rev. MT. Powell read
 several scriptural lessons and talked with her
 for quite awhile in low tone. The object
 of his remarks was to encourage her for the
 trial of to morrow. H. D. Luce, her attor-
 ney, visited the jail this evening just after
 the service and was admitted to her cell and cution are all complete.
 Mrs. Druse's apparel will consist of black cashmere dress, a small overskirt and rufae at the bottom, with draped apron front fasten- ed to the basque and white linen cuffs and collar. The respite and the death warrant will be read to her in the cell and the exc cution will take place between 10 a. m. and p. m., but probably at 2 p. m. A. R. Davis of Rome, who sent 8 telegram to Sheriff Cook saying .'I have petition for the imprisonment of Mrs. Druse for twenty years" and tried to have the execution de- layed as long possible until he could send it to the Governor, and was answered by the sheriff that as long as Governor Hill had declined to interfere 8 postpone ment could avail nothing and might com plicate matters, sent another dispatch to- night saying: "The works of the devil are always complicated"
 MT. Luce had an interview with Governor Hill lasting an hour and 8 half yesterday and made strong plea for the communication of the sentence to life imprisonment, but the will be private. It is understood that no au- topsy will be held. The Western Union company has erected six wires. One of them extends into the jail yard. They will be in op- eration to morrow. It is said that Mrs. Druse will make no remarks on the scaffold | an of Mrs. Druses son George, died here Thursday. George paid his last visit to his mother at the jail yesterday. Mrs. Druse was occupied this afternoon writing a letter of thanks to the wife of the sher- if for her kindness. The letter ends with a rhyGe. At 10 o'clock tonight Mrs. Druse was calm and collected and will probably pass 8 quiet night. Mr. and Mrs. Waterman, her death watch, are with her. Great crowds are expected tomorrow. The Remington Rife corps of Mohawk and a large number of deputy sheriffs will guard the jail. None of Mrs. Druse's relatives have applied for possession of the re- mains.
